The Werewolf Alpha

“… This may come back and bite me in the ass, but I believe you.”

“I won’ t let you down.”

“I hope you’re telling the truth.”

“I am, Ruby.”

“Don’t get my hopes up. And just know that you staying doesn’y mean you’d avoid working out what’s been broken.”

“I’m trying to stay, for you and the kids. And I know, Ruby.”

“And now you’re going to have to say goodbye again.”

“Who knows, I’m a ghost. Maybe I can stay.”

“You can’t do this to me… You can’t die then come back and try to make things better.”

“I’m sorry, Ruby. It shouldn’t have taken me dying to notice I was an awful person.”

“I don’t mean just Roxanne. I know there were others… I wasn’t born yesterday, Caleb. I’m no idiot.”

“Ruby, it would just be me and you, like it should be. But now you’re stuck with me spending every moment I’m not with the kids with you.”

“You’re a good liar, Caleb. But it’s really nice to hear. It’s what I needed to hear.”

“Ruby I’m not lying to you. I’m not going back to Roxanne.”

“If you came back now, it would be the same as it was before. I’m not sure my heart could handle another break.”

“Ruby it would be like the old times. If I came back, I wouldn’t leave you again.”

“I do too, so much.”

“If I could come up with a way, I would.”

“Why do I just wish you would just walk in that door again and just kiss me and go back to the way it was before your mom came in to town… I can’t handle all this, Caleb.”

“I’m sorry, Ruby. I wish we could go back to how things used to be.”

“…Why do I have to miss you so much. Why do I have to keep thinking of when things were better.”

“I miss you too, Ruby, and the old days.”

“You betrayed me then left me alone, sorry if I don’t believe you…”

“I’m sorry, Ruby... I don’t expect you to ever forgive me, I don’t deserve it anyways. I know, I’m an shit husband, a bad dad. There’s no excuse for what I’ve done to you. But I wanted to see you again. I had to find a way to see you.”

“You’re only saying that cause you got caught. You’ve never missed me. You must not have loved me either, cause you don’t hurt someone you love. Cause I never would have dreamed to hurt you, and there is no other person I would have rather had at my side but you in my end. But hey, what do I know.”

“No, Ruby... I do love you. You of all people deserved better than that.”

“Please. If you were alive, you’d be right at Roxanne’s door. Just like before.”

“No, I wouldn’t. Well... maybe. I was an idiot for what I did to you, Ruby. Phoenix helped me see that way too late.”

“… You know the kids have been missing you like crazy.”

“I miss them too. And you.”

“Seeing as you didn’t say goodbye to me, figured you wouldn’t stop by.”

“Yeah... I’m sorry.”

“…What are you doing here, Caleb?

“What, I can’t come visit my wife?”
